The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of anti-
cancer drugs, in particular to a
Schiff base gold (III) compound and a preparation method and application thereof.The series of symmetric or asymmetric
Schiff base gold (III) compounds are synthesized on the basis of the
bioisostere principle in combination with a
Schiff base ligand, the cyclohexanediamine structure and the NNOO coordination mode of
oxaliplatin are reserved,
platinum (II) is replaced with gold (III), and the Schiff base gold (III) compound is synthesized. Meanwhile, the invention relates to application of the Schiff base gold (III) compound in preparation of anti-hepatoma drugs, the defects that
oxaliplatin is strong in
side effect and the like are overcome, in-vivo and in-vitro experiment results of the Schiff base gold (III) compound provided by the invention show that the compounds Au3 and Au7 are remarkable in anti-hepatoma activity and can target
thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) at the same time, and the Schiff base gold (III) compound can be used for preparing anti-hepatoma drugs. The further mechanism research shows that the compound can promote the generation of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) to cause
endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and mitochondrial injury and finally induce
pyroptosis and
immunogenic cell death, and has great application potential.
